The philosophy of Axé Capoeira is to respect all the mestres, preserve the roots and traditions of Capoeira, and train Capoeira in all its aspects: as a fight, art, and culture.

We endeavor to teach and educate so that capoeira will grow in a positive healthy way. We attempt to pass on to the students physical and mental methods of training so that they learn to create situations and maintain a dialogue within the game.

By playing both with friends and adversaries, students learn to deal with any situation in or out of the roda. In North America, we not only teach movements, but the Brazilian language and customs as well, so that the students may become true capoeiristas.

Capoeira's foundational style, Jogo de Angola, is characterized by its fluidity, grace, and emphasis on evasion and deception.

Recognising and preserving the unique styles and techniques that have developed in different regions of Brazil is crucial.

Additionally, passing down knowledge and techniques through storytelling, songs, and chants, known as oral traditions, is vital.
